New World of Warcraft Video Explains Feast of Winter Veil Lore

World of Warcraft's Festive Feast: A Lore-Filled Winter Veil

World of Warcraft's annual Feast of Winter Veil, a joyous in-game celebration mirroring Christmas, returns with fresh rewards and activities! This year's event builds upon a rich history, detailed in a captivating lore video produced in collaboration with PlatinumWoW.

The video explores the holiday's multifaceted origins: the dwarven myth of Greatfather Winter, a Titan-forged giant bringing winter's magic; Tauren traditions emphasizing spiritual renewal and gratitude to the Earthmother; and the humorous commercialization of the holiday by the Goblin-run Smokeywood Pastures.

A Reindeer's Tale:

No Winter Veil story is complete without mentioning Metzen the Reindeer, named after Chris Metzen. This unfortunate creature has faced three kidnappings – by pirates and Dark Iron dwarves in Classic WoW, and by the Grinch in the current game. The video concludes with a humorous thank-you from Metzen, voiced in Thrall's iconic tone (a fitting tribute given Chris Metzen's voice acting).

A Partnership for the Ages:

This collaboration marks another successful partnership between World of Warcraft and PlatinumWoW, following previous lore videos covering Nerubians, Vrykul, the Scourge, World Trees, and more. Blizzard's recent collaborations with content creators like PlatinumWoW, Taliesin & Evitel, and Hurricane showcase a commitment to enriching the player experience.

Don't Miss Out!

Hunters can tame the Dreaming Festive Reindeer, and all players can collect new transmogs and the Grunch pet. Remember to check under the tree in Orgrimmar or Stormwind for a special Winter Veil gift before the event ends on January 5th, 2024! Last year's surprise? The Junior Timekeeper's Racing Belt toy!
